At Fault

"At Fault" by Kate Chopin is a great American novel and wonderful piece of American Literature, the novel takes place after the civil war and is set in the state of Louisiana. Like most would think, back in those days there were a lot of plantations and farming was big back then. Like in the novel, there is a plantation and there were some four thousands acres it rested on. There are many great characters in the novel by Kate Chopin, Thérèse Lafirme, owner of the Place-du-Bois plantation, David Hosmer, manager of the sawmill on the Place-du-Bois plantation, Fanny Larimore, Lorenzo Worthington, and Jack Dawson, just to name a few. With so many characters in the novel it wasn't easy to chose just one that truly had that uniquely American character. The character I did end up choosing from the novel by Kate Chopin in "At Fault" was the character of Thérèse Lafirme, owner of the Place-du-Bois plantation. If you begin to just read the very first paragraph from the novel, you see that Thérèse Lafirme has suffered a tragic event, the loss of her husband, Jérôme Lafirme, and the passing of him left her in possession and charge of the large plantation. Not the death of her husband but the fact that her and her husband and had such a large plantation was the American dream back then, and this showed that she was American. Even though Thérèse Lafirme was a Creole lady which meant she was in this case a woman that was born in Louisiana, but she did have some French ancestry in her. This again ties into that unique American characteristics. If you look at all Americans, we all came from somewhere, either that of European decent, Spanish, or African. So we can all relate to Thérèse Lafirme and her ancestry background. Thérèse Lafirme also shows example of being independent and not being pushed or persuaded into doing modern architectural, that is the beauty of being in America, you are free to chose what you want to do and Thérèse Lafirme expressed that. Thérèse Lafirme throughout this novel shows great American spirit, her sense of entrepreneurship with having the plantation and doing things the way she wanted. Back in the late nineteenth century women were not viewed as being independent and being able to run plantations and do things on their own, most believed you needed a man in order to accomplish and manage those types of things. That was not the case with Thérèse Lafirme in this novel, she is the perfect example of a character that is uniquely American. The story like I mentioned does take place in the late nineteenth century and the location that the novel is referring to is a place in northwestern Louisiana, and Thérèse Lafirme lives on Place-du-Bois plantation, the name it's self gives it away that it is in Louisiana and French as well. Thérèse Lafirme being who she was, is like us all, we can't pass up on love or a second chance, even though Thérèse Lafirme did have strong moral beliefs and religious one too, she still found herself blushing when she meets David Hosmer, "Thérèse was of a roundness of figure suggesting a future of excessive fullness if not judiciously guarded; and she was fair, with a warm whiteness that a passing thought could deepen into color. The waving blonde hair, gathered in an abundant coil on top of her head, grew away with a pretty sweep from the temples, the low forehead and nape of the white neck that showed above a frill of soft lace. Her eyes were blue, as certain gems are; that deep blue that lights, and glows, and tells things of the soul. When David Hosmer presented himself, they were intense only with expectancy and the color was in her cheek like the blush in a shell'. (Chopin)
With this part of the novel, you can start to see more of who Thérèse Lafirme is and what she believes in. Let's face it, it is everyone's dream to truly find love and someone to share our life with, even though Thérèse Lafirme is a widow, and she does have strong religious and moral beliefs, deep down she wants to be happy. You see this again when talking to Hosmer,
“Mrs. Lafirme,” said Hosmer, seeming moved to pursue the subject, and addressing the spray of white blossoms that adorned Thérèse’s black hat, “you admit, I suppose, that in urging your views upon me, you have in mind the advancement of my happiness?”(Chopin).
Thérèse Lafirme is set in her ways, she knows what she wants and how she feels. Looking back at Louisiana and the state after the civil war in which this novel takes place, Louisiana did seceded from the Union and join the Confederacy, President Lincoln did want to bring the sides together, but his assignation only put the state of Louisiana in turmoil and the state of Louisiana did suffer during the reconstruction, and some of the Plantations never did recover (Infoplease). You can see why for Thérèse Lafirme it was hard having to run the Plantation being a widow who lost her husband. With everything that was going on and the sawmill, you can see what makes Thérèse Lafirme so American, and yes she might be Creole but she still had the American drive the American dream and no matter what she did not let get her down, and she stood up for what she believed in and what she felt was right and didn't let anything or anyone stand between that, and you could feel that though out the entire novel. Having American Sprit is great and means something different to everyone and no matter what when having strong morals and beliefs like Thérèse Lafirme, it is easy to see the American way, even if it took place over a hundred years ago. Cultural influences and those we hang around like in the novel can drive and dictate how we act, but stay true to who you are like Thérèse Lafirme did, and the American Sprit will live on.

...Fault is defined in terms of responsibility and culpability or blame for something wrong. Responsibility is defined in terms of ability to take rational decisions and rational is defined in terms of reasonableness.
Fault is generally an essential requirement of liability in the law of tort. Liability in negligence requires proof of a breach of duty. A breach of duty arises when the defendant fails to act or not act as “the reasonable man” would have. In Bolton v Stone the defendants acted as a reasonable man would have, by taking action in creating a higher fence around the cricket ground to minimise the risk of people outside the ground being injured by the cricket balls. However, in Paris v Stephney borough council, the court held that in light of potential serious consequences posed by welding to an employee with only one eye, the employer should have taken reasonable action in providing safety goggles. Liability under the occupiers liability act 1957 also required proof of fault.
Fault is also relevant to the general defence of a contributory negligence under the law reform act 1945. S.1(1) damages are reduced according to the claimants responsibility for the damage. In Froom v Butcher, the claimant’s damages were reduced by 25% due to his failure to wear a seatbelt.
There are however areas of tort in which there is no need to provide fault. For example, nuisance is a strict liability tort. The defendant cannot claim as a defence that he took reasonable care to avoid......

...The Fault in Our Stars
John Green
“That’s the thing about pain” Augustus said “It demands to be felt” (10, Green). Who among us has been plagued with feelings? For most teenagers it seems par for their course, but this is especially true for the two main characters Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters of the novel The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It is about the reality of two young teenagers facing love, life, and death in a different way than most people. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters proves and exposes the realistic lives of what people with cancer experience, the love two people can share, and the depressing truth of death. John Green was able to capture the truth behind these three phenomenons through his own personal journey with a young girl named Esther Earl in which he helped her face cancer, love, and death.
There is time when the word “cancer” is too heavy of a word for some people to pronounce, knowing people who have lost their lives to it or are suffering through it at this very moment. Imagine a person living with cancer, most people see a hairless and lifeless human being just waiting for their time. The Fault in Our Stars shows the truth behind real cancer patients and how they live their lives. Although people living with cancer may have obstacles or they are unable to do certain things all people have that challenge for something and that’s what John Green wanted to prove. Hazel Grace is 16 years old......

1)The-Fault-in-Our-StarsCancer is such a dreadful disease, indiscriminate in its choice of victim, choosing with aplomb regardless of age, gender, or status. There are a myriad of stories behind the tragedy and many of them remain untold.
In The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, he builds a story out of darkness and despair. He takes the tragedy of cancer and immerses us in the lives of characters that could very well be real. Many know of the heartaches in dealing with those who fight the fight, and many of those scars last a lifetime. He brings his story in the form of a teen girl, Hazel Lancaster. Stricken with cancer from a young age, she believes she has come to terms with what her life has become. Then she meets a young man, Augustus Waters, a survivor of cancer. He is drawn to her in a way that is initially uncomfortable, and as she tries to push him away in her sarcastic vein, he finds her to be exactly the type of girl he has been looking for. Throughout the story there is a beauty and humor, a 'candle in the wind' for each of those whose lives have been touched by such an uncaring disease. For cancer touches not just the victim but all those who love and are in anyway touched by......

...The novel The Fault In Our Stars shows the story of a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel Grace Lancaster, who is forced by her parents to attend a support group where she subsequently meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and amputee. Important themes in the novel acceptance in society and the fear of oblivion.
Acceptance in society is an important theme shown in this novel. It is shown by both of the main characters in the novel as they both have a type of cancer and are viewed differently by society. For example, because Hazel has lung cancer she requires an oxygen tank to breathe properly. Due to this she receives weird looks in public. Another example of this is near the end of the book when Augustus is at the petrol station getting cigarettes and his G-tube is messed up and requires the assistance of Hazel. He says “...but I wanted...to do it by myself. Do one little thing myself”. Through this as a reader we can see that Augustus feels the need to prove that although he has cancer he can still do small things like go to the petrol station to buy something, although it majorly failed and he ended up in hospital. This theme was very important in this book because in the generation that we live in, everyone has the need to fit in and proved themselves to their peers.
Fear of oblivion is also an important theme shown in the novel.The main characters in the novel are forced to confront death in a way that...

IRP Reading Essay
There are some people in the world who hate getting close to people because they are scared or like to be alone. Then there are other people, like Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, who are scared to become close to people because they don’t want to hurt them. In this book a teenage girl named Hazel has cancer, she goes to a Support Group for kids with cancer and meets a boy named Augustus Waters. Their relationship starts off by just staring at each other, “Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward, and at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy... well.”(41)
We bet most of the teenagers you know don't have cancer, right? We can thank our lucky stars for that, but for Hazel, Augustus, and Isaac in The Fault in Our Stars, that means a whole lot of isolation. Sure, Hazel hangs out with her friend Kaitlyn, and Isaac starts off the book with a lovey dovey girlfriend, but when the going gets tough, their illnesses separate them from most other people. Add that to their physical limitations, and they find themselves in a world that is oftentimes very, very lonely. “That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.”(58) Not only do people leave when there are some rough patches, but when Hazel goes out in public people stare. When she gets on the airplane to go......

...The Fault in Our Stars
The novel, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is about two teenagers that fall in love, but unlike most other young adult romance stories, there’s an irresolvable plots twist in which they both have an incurable cancer. The story is told by one of the main characters Hazel Grace Landcaster, who is a 17 year old cancer patient that is forced to attend a support group because her parents think she is depressed. The support group is where she then meets Augustus Waters who is an amputee which resulted from the cancer. They both know if they were to get in a relationship together, it wouldn’t be something that lasts forever. Even though they know this, they begin to grow closer, while making lots of memories during this journey together which makes them forms a bond that may never be broken. This is why John Green is one of my favorite authors just because it may come off as a sad cancer book, but it’s nothing but two people that fall in love that have obstacles to overcome.
Hazel Landcaster fascinated me from the start by the way she looks at herself as a person. All she wants in her life is to be a normal teenager, this is troubling because where ever she goes, she is obligated to bring her oxygen tank because she cannot breathe without in. In this novel she explains to the readers that she is a grenade, because in the matter of time she is going to explode and hurt the people around her. So her thinking of a well lived life is all about walking......

...The Fault in Our Stars
Is suffering necessary in our daily lives? Why do we have to suffer, why is it a part of our lives? These questions were always in the back of my mind while reading the novel The Fault in Our Stars. It is a tragic love story about two teenagers, who are both cancer recipients and their journey to falling in love. The two protagonists were constantly dealing with the theme of suffering. In the novel, the author John Green uses his protagonists Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters to develop the theme of ‘the necessity of suffering’ as he writes these characters to undergo the feelings of pain and suffering.
John Green uses the character of Hazel Grace to explore the theme ‘the necessity of suffering’ by writing Augustus Waters’ faith as destined to die. I admire Hazel because she shows tremendous strength and was able to handle it. Throughout the course of the novel, Hazel was constantly worried about dying first and not getting close to Augustus. She did not want to get close to Augustus because she made a connection between herself and a grenade. She believed that when she dies, she’ll be a grenade - injuring innocent others around her. However in actuality, Augustus was the grenade as he passed away first. I think that Green did this because Hazel was constantly worried about being a grenade, she did not comprehend the necessity of suffering. It was necessary for Augustus to suffer because he was able to go to a better place. Also, Green......

...My ISP novel is called The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green. In fact, the movie was just released last Friday, and this novel is one of the most popular books amongst teens. The story takes place in Indianapolis, which is where sixteen year old protagonist Hazel Grace Lancaster is battling Stage 4 Thyroid cancer. Since she has terminal cancer, Hazel is required to carry an oxygen tank everywhere she goes, which makes it very obvious that she has cancer (physically). This causes a barrier between Hazel and society, thus resulting a character vs society conflict. Hazel states, “I could feel everyone watching us, wondering what was wrong with us… That was worse part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.” (144)
Hazel believes that her time on Earth isn’t as long as most people, and decides to distance herself from others to minimize the number of causalities she leaves behind, and that makes her very anti-social. Even though Hazel doesn’t go to school, she is VERY smart and because she has cancer she spends a lot of time thinking about life; She is very philosophical. Being faced with several situations that have threatened her life, she is very cautious of who becomes close to her because she knows that there is a good chance she will die and she doesn’t want to leave behind emotional damage, and therefore distances herself from people. This internal conflict is important because it affects most of the decisions she...

Abstract
The performance of a bearing which is dynamic in nature is very crucial to the working of a
machine. The presence of defects in a bearing results in reduced efficiency or in some cases severe
damage to the machine which is under consideration. Rolling element bearing is an indispensable
part of any machine which finds widespread domestic and industrial applications. Different
methods are used for detection and diagnosis of the bearing defects. This research is intended as a
tutorial overview of bearing fault detection using vibration analysis.
The advent of the microprocessor has enormously advanced the process of vibration data
acquisition and analysis in recent years. Measurement that took hours only two decades ago can
now be completed in minutes and better decisions made because of better data acquisition and
presentation. However, the basic process of measurement and analysis have remained essentially
unchanged, just like the machines from which vibrations is measured. The results of the
measurement and data analysis need to be compared with known standards or guidelines and
decisions made as to whether the machine is......

Faults within Windows OS
The security within an operating system is vital to the overall operation of your operating system, and in this case even more important to Windows OS because of how it is used across various platforms. The security within Windows is provided to protect your operating system from any unwanted visitors whether it be accidental or not (Stallings, 2015), but not all security is perfect. Sometimes security contains flaws and some flaws are bigger than others and some flaws can destroy your system from the inside out. These faults can be patched and some are so minute that they can be resolved with something as little as switching the settings. Switching the settings sounds like something that would never be a fault, but what happens when the fault that was created was man made. The fault that lies within Windows was a nuisance but the real issued lied with how many users decided to handle that nuisance.
There are three different types of hackers trying to gain access to your system. These three hackers are called the Masquerader, the Misfeasor and the clandestine user. A Masquerader is someone who is not authorized but gains access and infiltrates your systems access controls to exploit your account ("Windows 7 Known Security Flaws", 2009). A Misfeasor is a person who has been granted access to data and resources but misuses and takes advantage of the information he has received ("Windows 7...

...Fault Essay (30 marks)
Fault can be defined as legal responsibility or blame for an offence or misdeed. It also refers to the mental state of the defendant. The basic principle is that a D should be able to contemplate the harm that his actions may cause and should therefore aim to avoid such actions.
In general, a person cannot be criminally liable and subjected to criminal sanctions unless it can be proved that he carried out an illegal act in a blameworthy manner. An act does not make a man guilty of a crime unless his mind is also guilty.
The state of mind of the D is hugely important in assessing whether or not he is at fault. However, to be found guilty of most criminal offences (true crimes) both an AR and MR must be proved. The AR also includes elements of fault. These elements relate to the level of responsibility, a positive voluntary act is considered more blameworthy than an omission.
The AR of an offence must be voluntary or done with free will for there to be any criminal liability. The D must be in control pf their actions. There are in fact situations where the AR is involuntary and the D is therefore not at fault.
Automatism shows the D has no fault if they are not in control of the act they have committed. Quick for example could plead automatism as it was argued that the insulin he had taken made him attack a mental patient, therefore it was not his fault. This lack of fault is reflected in the outcome: a successful plea of automatism results in an......
